oh, and by the way ~ from that earliest post in the month (the *only* other post i've written this whole month!), it might seem as if i'm abstaining from blogging.  but that's not the case:  

i'm up to my earballs in playa prep!  my other habit ~ espresso ~ has become a daily given as i  obsessively plan, search, or create, (and take care of the babe, of course).  and when i'm not doing all of the above, i'm TIRED.  and don't feel like being productive otherwise.  hence the aforementioned episodes. . 

[and i say "i" as if sealion hasn't done 100 times more work than i. . . ]
